I was recently asked to talk about making my first hundred dollars online. This was only in 2006, so the memory is still very fresh in my mind. I was sure I could make money on the internet because I saw that so many other people were doing it. I was determined to succeed and to be able to work from home or from wherever I had an internet connection.
The first thing I recommend, if you want to build your business on the internet, is to find someone who has already been successful in this area and to learn from what they are doing. Once I figured this out I was able to start making money by avoiding the mistakes that others had already made.
Spend some time every day looking at what people are writing about and selling on the internet. What will sell best for you is a digital product that is about something you are interested in or have personal knowledge about. For example, if you have arthritis, you can write or promote eBooks, audio recordings, and other information products that help people live with their arthritis.
Remember that you are a problem solver on the internet. What is it that keeps you awake at night? For me it was the fear of not having enough money to pay my bills every month. So my niche has become teaching people how to create their own products and how to promote affiliate products so they can make money while they sleep. There are so many ways to do this, that you could spend the next ten years exploring them all.
Be willing to read all you can about making money from home on your computer, and then take action. Start a blog, write some articles, and set up a one page web site. If you don’t know how to do these things, spend some time and just a small amount of money to learn how to do them. Making money online is easier than you might think, once you know how to do it.

Making Money From Your Home Computer May Be Easier Than You Think When You Learn From Someone Else
March 12th, 2010Computer Home Business – What Does it Take to Make Money From Home?
March 2nd, 2010
Starting a computer home business is a very worthwhile endeavor, at least for some people. For others, it seems like they can work hours and hours and not have a dime to show for their efforts. Why is this?
There are a few reasons, in my opinion. What separates successful business owners from the wanna bees? The first is what I call opportunity hopping. I came across this a lot in the network marketing industry. Everybody is looking for that latest and greatest opportunity that will make them a killing without them having to do any work.
If you are looking for network marketing opportunities, you’ve probably come across tons of different companies, and are wondering which opportunity is really the best to make money.
I’m going to let you in on a secret that they don’t want you to know-it really doesn’t matter which you sign up with. Most people think it’s all about the system, but the truth is, you can make a killing in any system on the planet.
Is this to say the system you follow isn’t important? Not at all. However, your success or failure really comes down to your ability to market. If you are a good marketer, you can make money with any company or computer home business opportunity, and if you can’t market, you won’t make a dime regardless of how great the system might be.
The most successful network marketing distributors don’t use the generic company website. Instead, they created their own sales copy, auto responders, etc, and tested them out on a bunch of different keywords to see which ones convert well and which don’t.
Once they do this, they then continue advertising on those keywords, generate leads, follow up with up with them over the phone, explain the opportunity, and generally, direct them to a company conference call. After that, they will follow up with the prospect, and hopefully get them to sign up.
This is more or less the activity you will be doing with any network marketing company. In other words, your success depends entirely on you, and not the system.
This is what separates the successful from the unsuccessful, not just in network marketing, but in any computer home business opportunity. The truth is, I’m using network marketing to make a point-most people are not willing to do the work or testing necessary to make money, and instead want that magic system to do everything for them.
The truth is, such a system doesn’t exist. If you want to make big money online or offline, and with network marketing or anything else, it will depend on you learning marketing and advertising, and in the case of network marketing, over the phone selling.
Not as easy as you thought? The truth is, if it were as easy to make money online as many would have you believe, everybody would be making money online big time. How many people do you know off hand who are making a full time income online?
Not many? Me neither. The reality is, making money online is very possible, but it will require a lot of hard work and dedication on your part, and this is how to make money with a computer home business.
